Whether or not you’ve tried ketones yourself yet, you should hear the fascinating research and predictions from an expert.
Michael Brandt is the founder and CEO of Ketone-IQ. He’s also a 2:42 marathoner, triathlete, and former professor at the Academy of Art in San Francisco.
Ketone-IQ was built to redefine the limits of human performance, metabolism, and longevity.
In the near future, ketones could be a gamechanger in the fueling world. But what do they actually do, and how can runners and endurance athletes use them?
Here’s the thing: It’s still early in the world of ketone research. We don’t know everything yet.
But, it’s fascinating to explore the frontiers of performance science. Can you imagine where we could be in the next 5-10 years with another performance and recovery tool?
So, I wanted to have Michael on the show to talk about ketones as energy, why you feel focused after taking them, and more.
